Antrim 1844

Antrim 1844 is a truly delightful place. My husband and I stayed in the main house (there are a number of other room/suite choices in other buildings on the property). The entire facility is impeccably decorated in mid-1800s style furniture, paintings, and wall hangings. Many of the rooms have fireplaces, both woodburning and gas. Our room, Clabaugh, had a cozy king featherbed, with an antique armoire and other furniture and a view out two sides of the building over what in non-winter months is the garden. The Smokehouse Restaurant in the main building was excellent, with a seven-course dinner offering that was well worth the cost. The executive chef is a young Peruvian, who apparently trained with the best. The cuisine was creative, flavorful, and had many unexpected but delicious details. Our stay felt like stepping back in time; we were looking for a not-too-far-away getaway, and Antrim 1844 fit the bill perfectly. We'll be back.

We came to get away from the city and visit Gettysburg. Unfortunately the snow closed the museums early so we arrived early. The hotel let us into our beautiful room early. They offered complimentary afternoon tea service. They accommodated us for dinner a La carte due to the snow. We had a wonderful time just enjoying the hotel and snowfall. Thank you!

It's been a long while since I enjoyed a restaurant as much as this. Let's start with the ambience. 16 foot ceilings in a completely restored 1844 home. The decor if not antique complemented the age of this home. While waiting for our table we had a glass of wine and the maitre d' serves hor d'oeuvres for each person. All of which were excellent. Immediately after we were seated we were served another chef's creation hor d'oeuvres. From the service to the cuisine everything was excellent, all most. The grilled Spanish Octopus done in a black garlic aioli was perfect. The butternut squash soup was good; but it was a bit over little salted. Done in a French fennel barigoule, the Chilean Seabass was cooked to perfection. The White Chocolate Dome dessert was eatable. At any one time there were different people from the wait staff or kitchen attending to everything we desired.

Anniversary celebration overnight and dinner. Amazing! Booked a Monday night. Had this historic mansion to ourselves. Our room (Clabaugh Room) was amazing and included a fireplace with views of the gardens and front. Warm welcome. Prosecco welcome in the room. Hors d'oeuvres and drinks in the Pub. Fantastic dinner with 3 wine pairings beside the fireplace with a candle lit table. Amazing staff , thank you Bill and Ali. Huge single malt selection in the Pub. Electrical problems while there. Less than 30 minutes. Emergency lighting did not operate. That said they would report/repair. In short, we loved it. We’ll return after Thanksgiving for Christmas decorations with family. Well done! We will return. Thank you!❤️❤️❤️❤️

On August 24, 2024, my husband and I checked into this inn. We have stayed at several Select Registry properties throughout the country and are accustomed to the quality of service that comes with that designation. Throughout our stay, we were surprised and saddened to learn that this property was not on par with any of the others on which we have stayed. It was not until we checked in that we realized how far removed our room was from the rest of the facility. It felt as though we were on a separate property entirely from that which is portrayed on your website. The condition of the room was also subpar. There were chunks of dust hanging from the air conditioning vents and the deck furniture was uncomfortable and dirty. We understand that things are not always exactly as they are advertised and, with that understanding, we settled in to enjoy the property. Upon heading to the Rose Garden, activity lawn, and pool areas, we quickly discovered that a wedding was about to take place and that the grounds were not, in fact, available for use. The following morning we requested to be moved to another room that was closer to the main area of the property. We were assigned to another room. When we arrived in the room, it was very warm. When we tried to adjust the thermostat it remained stuck at 68 degrees. Even with that, no cool air was blowing. We called the front desk and someone came over to assist us. He could not fix the issue and waited with us while he called for someone who could. After a while, he informed us that he was told that no one would be able to come until the following day. In addition, there were bugs all over the bathroom. Once again, we set out to enjoy the grounds and, once again, there was a wedding taking place and we were unable to. We decided to sit on the front porch of the Smith House and relax but the music and festivities prevented us from enjoying the solace which we craved during our getaway. That night, we tried to sleep but the room was sweltering. The following morning we woke up and checked out a day earlier than planned. My husband and I have had a very difficult year as a result of issues both at work and within our family. We have not been able to get away and were looking forward to these few restful days together. In addition, it was our anniversary and we were looking forward to celebrating. We left this property feeling more stressed than we were upon our arrival. We are seasoned travelers and know that we need to expect the unexpected and we are adept at “going with the flow.” However, the issues that we faced at this Inn went above and beyond that. When booking, it should be made clear to guests if weddings will be taking place during their stay and they should be made aware that access to the property will be limited, if not non-existent. It should also be clear that some of the outbuildings are so far removed from the main area that you feel as though you are on a different

I had really looked forward to staying here for quite some time and read such great reviews. Unfortunately, I am so disappointed that it did not meet my expectations. Morning coffee tray service was not delivered to the room either morning I was there. Breakfast was pretty standard both mornings - eggs/meat/toast. Nothing special. The lunch at the pool was served about 45 minutes late. I also think they should point out that a TV is not available in the room (Ice House and other rooms)! Surprised us. Also the layout of the Ice House bathroom is a little awkward. On a positive note, I thought the pool and gardens were lovely! Staff was a mix - both good and then could care less experiences. Dinner in the smokehouse was good and the dining area quaint but not over impressed with the menu. Our exceptional waitress Cynthia saved the evening. Overall, a nice experience but definitely not worth the money compared to other places in my opinion. Definitely would not return.
